Wayne Street Parking Garage

Sustainability Highlights:

Light Emitting Diode (LED) type lights will
be installed throughout the garage along with a
daylight harvesting control system, which shuts
off lights in areas of the garage when a sensor
detects enough natural sunlight to adequately
illuminate the interior. Combined, these
measures will reduce lighting energy by 60
percent over more traditional lighting systems.

By using pervious paving materials and
replacing some formerly paved sections with
grass, SU has increased the site’s perviousness
by 15 percent, decreasing storm water runoff.

The garage is being constructed in a
pre-developed area, limiting sprawl.
The garage’s roof will be made from white
concrete, allowing light to reflect instead of
being absorbed, reducing heat island effect.

100 percent of the waste concrete created
during construction will be recycled.
100 percent of all concrete (over 1,085 tons)
and metal (over 62 tons) from pre-existing
buildings demolished to make way for the parking
garage has been recycled.

At least 60 percent of all materials used to
construct the garage have been purchased
locally, requiring less fuel and fewer emissions
for shipping.

Plans for the garage include a new campus
telecommunications hub, eliminating the
requirement for construction of a similar hub in
a less developed area.
